[Saba Sports News] During the extra time period between Spain and Germany, the broadcast subtitles incorrectly displayed that Spanish captain Alvaro Morata, who had been substituted, received a yellow card while on the bench, thus accumulating enough yellow cards to miss the semi-finals. However, it was later confirmed that this yellow card was a broadcast error. UEFA informed the Spanish Football Federation after the game that Morata had not received a yellow card and was eligible to play in the semi-finals. The broadcast footage showed Morata, who had already been substituted, receiving a yellow card in the 120th minute of the game, suggesting he would miss the semi-finals due to accumulating two yellow cards in the tournament. However, the official update on the UEFA website identified Fabian Ruiz as the player who received the yellow card, not Morata. Therefore, Morata will not face any suspension. It is worth mentioning that Fabian had not received any yellow cards before this tournament, so he will not accumulate yellow cards or face suspensions. Spanish fans can now breathe a sigh of relief.
